- Quite possibly the best morning of landscape photography I've had in years !
The epic Corfe Castle in misty conditions at sunrise has to be one of the biggest bucket list shots in the UK and for once I get perfect conditions as Dorset blesses me with a win !
Loads of information about how to shoot Corfe Castle and where from etc..

Love your videos. I'm still kicking myself for going to Wareham that other Sunday. However I've had two successful shoots there so I can't complain. That other perspective.. the longest lens I have is 200mm don't know if that's enough?
Hi Christine, I’ve done the same things myself and gone elsewhere when conditions have been perfect somewhere else, it’s enough to drive you mad but that’s the chase we all love ! Thanks so much for watching and your kind words, a 200 mm would do it with a small bit of cropping on the image just to take out sone of the unwanted trees :) good luck, you will nail it next time :)
Great Video Daniel, what a fantastic subject in wonderful conditions, 12:14 Stunning, I love blue hour light! 12:23 fabulous colour 12:33 I love the layers, the mist flows are beautiful 12:43 wow the bright sky is fabulous 12:54 the best of the group, the detail and light is brilliant, my favourite, thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Tony, blue hour is very much one of my favourites! Hope you’re well
Another excellent video, superb images I have learned a lot from you and always look forward to seeing your posts, thank you.
Thank you so much Tony, I really do appreciate that ! I put so much effort into these videos so it’s really nice to know that people enjoy them and get something out of them ! Your comment has made my day ! Thank you 🙏
great video and very nice shots indeed cant wait for the next 1
Thanks so much Bryan, was really pleased with this trip ! It’s nice when it finally goes right !
Beautiful photos, Daniel! I really love all of the photography teaching you do in your videos. I especially appreciated your perspective on the lenses in this one. It is very helpful information.
Thanks so much Tara, really appreciate you watching and so happy you get something out of it !
Fantastic conditions Daniel , great images 👌
Thanks so much Rob, it was insane mate. So great to get such great conditions! Thanks so much for watching !
Love this one so much! I’ve been fortunate enough to see the castle in the mist on a couple of occasions but not for pink cloud and mist together! One day I’ll get there early enough and hopefully I’ll make a better job of photographing it next time! 🤞🌄📷
Thanks so much Jane ! It really is an epic site to see ! Was so lucky on this trip but believe me I’ve had my fair share of fails !
Probably you best video to date, Daniel. Really enjoyable and professionally created. Like others, whilst I love the shots from West Hill, the ones from Kingston are really superb and give a great sense of context. Well, that's that layby filled up next time we get mist then !
Thanks so much Nigel, I was really pleased with this one and really tried to up my game on the production so it’s great to see people noticed ! The layby shot is an interesting one as not many people have lenses that have the reach to get it so hopefully it won’t fill up too much ! There are many other areas to shoot it from up there too ;)
Another great film Daniel. Only been to Corfe once, a couple of years ago, and had no mist but a nice sunrise. Vowed to go again, just trying to work out when the misty conditions might produce!
Also, really like your interview with Gary Norman; great insight into what makes you 'tick' as a photographer. Highly recommended to all who follow you!
Thanks, Andy
Thanks so much for watching Andy and also for watching the interview with Gary Norman, was really nice to do and he’s a top guy ! Mist can be a tricky one at corfe and I’ve had my fair share of fails there that’s for sure but it’s worth persisting with as when it finally pays it pays off big time ! Thanks for watching my friend, hope you’re well ?
Hi Daniel, we met when I introduced myself to you in the layby after you had finished filming - nice to meet you. I had pulled in to shoot from West Hill initially but saw so many cars there already that as I already have some nice shots from West Hill I decided to go on to the the layby and to a location nearby to get a timelapse and shots. Really glad I did from the number of Togs seen in your video. The predawn colours and mist towards the coast that I saw were wonderful and I got the tip of the castle showing with some lovely pastel pink coloured sky. because of the direct the fog flowed I didn't quite get the 'flow' you did on the hill. Looks like we both had a very productive morning shoot and pleased to have the chance to say I enjoy your channel. Makes a nice change from most people being based much further north. Keep up the good work.
Hiya Steve, was really great to meet you and so pleased you could share in such a wonderful morning with those conditions! Corfe has become so busy it’s almost not enjoyable now so like you I try and seek out other areas that are less busy, you might not get “the shot” everyone knows but you will usually walk away with something a little more special as you’ve proved, that’s good photography right there steve and takes guts to be away from the crowd, well done ! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words and please do come say hi if you see me out again, it was a real pleasure to meet you !
Love Corfe Castle been there many times. Stunning photos and drone footage. Never managed to get lucky enough to catch it in the missed.
Thanks very much ! I’ve done a lot of shoots there and never had conditions quite as good as that but believe me there has been so many failed trips behind it ! Keep trying as you WILL eventually get that shot ! Thanks very much for watching !
Nice one mate, excellent as ever! I regret not moving up higher and further towards the left. Always next time…
Thanks mate, I really appreciate it ! It was one of the best conditions I’ve actually seen there ! You’ve got plenty of stunners from here before and you will again !
I’m not jealous Daniel looks like you had an amazing time and another great video keep up the good work you videos have set a new marker very professional and informative.
Thanks so much Trevor, was very lucky to get such great conditions there ! I’ve tried a few times and come back with nothing ! Thanks also for your lovely compliments! Really trying hard on the video front so it’s lovely to see people notice, thanks Trev ! Hope you’re keeping well ?
It is on my bucket list, the info you have given is fantastic, thanks for that. You video is excellent and images are amazing, very well done
Really appreciate that Steve, thank you :) please do let me know if you’re coming down and I’ll give you a far more detailed bit of info for the location ! Thanks again for your kind comments and watching :)
@@DanielWretham I’ll do that mate, thank you 👍
Daniel, that was spectacular. For me, your best video yet. I agree, it doesn't get better than that. Wow!! Shot to death or not, there is no reason NOT to get that image in your portfolio. What a location, amazing conditions, and the history is just amazing. The first sunrise shot and the last image with the village were just absolutely amazing, but not a bad one in the bunch. Great work as always my friend, I'm just blown away by this one! Hope you and yours are doing well!
Thanks so much Paul ! Absolutely amazing praise right there and I can’t tell you just how grateful I am for it as I put so much effort into this one ! Always lovely when another youtuber noticed as they know just how hard it is to do these ! Thank you so much my friend for your constant support ! We’re all well over here thanks, hope you and yours are too ?
Wow, what a morning you had, and when you said it was a popular location you were not kidding , dont think i have ever seen a location that busy at sunrise, however i see why. Some fantastic images and footage, i liked both locations the sunrise images are just beautiful with the colour and mist , you did a great job with them mate and the second location is a great long range image , really shows off the surrounding area , one i have never seen before. The production on this vlog was outstanding mate the transitions, screen graphics and the soundstage was all additional work that really polished the video up to another level, a lot of work i can see went into this and what a result !!
Thanks so much Lee, really can’t tell you how much that means to me coming from someone who knows what it’s like to put one of these videos together and the effort that goes into it ! Thank you ! So pleased to have finally got this on video as I’ve tried numerous times and failed sadly ! Thanks so much for the support lee, it’s really appreciated so much !
Great video and images, you certainly chose the right morning! I would be put off by all the people and like the idea of other locations to photograph Corfe Castle. The season is upon us I just need to get out with my camera more and your images inspire me to do this.
Such lovely praise, thank you so much Dane ! I generally avoid anywhere that’s busy to be honest but I really wanted to show you guys Corfe castle from west hill so I just had to do it ! But like you, I do prefer to go to the much less popular areas in search of something a bit more original and less full of people ! Good luck on the mist quest Dane, hope you get lucky and thanks so much for watching !
Beautiful images Daniel, all very nice, but I think I prefer the 400mm shots as I haven't ever seen many (if any) of those. It gives the castle a sense of "place" and puts it in context in the wider scene.Also breathtaking drone footage at the start.
Thanks so much Mark, I had the same thought process. The first set of images is more striking but the second is better context and scale, and less shot ! Thanks so much for watching !
I was looking for some details on how to shoot CC and this has everything I was hoping for and more. Thank you
Really appreciate you watching and very happy it helped you, hope you get some great shots !
I think I would have been wetting my pants with conditions like that... on the intro Daniel you could have sounded a little bit excited...so blaze 🤣🤣 Stunning images and your drone intro was an absolute stonker - I think I commented on one of your past videos as being one of the best intros I had seen in a long time - well this one topped that for sure. I have only visited Corfe once and it was a blue sky sunrise... I was gutted. atb Al
Thanks so much Al, I was really quiet as there were so many people around me and to be fair I hate vlogging near anyone as I go to pieces then ! Always feel like people are listening to every word but trust me I was super excited about those conditions!! Thanks so much for watching Al ! Hope you’re well mate ?
Stunning Daniel. WS there a couple of weeks back but unfortunately didn’t have those conditions 😏. Loved your discussion with Gary by the way, brilliant 👌👍
Thanks so much Mark, was rare to get conditions that special ! Thanks for watching the interview with gary too, I really do appreciate it :)
Super images Daniel, a well shot location as you mention though when the conditions are that good it’s not always about reinventing the wheel, but more just enjoying the experience of being in a beautiful place.
Thank you so much for watching Stuart, I know I’ve said it before but it always means so much coming from you. Conditions indeed were perfect and a real privilege to be able to share with others. Thank you Stuart, hope you’re keeping well ?
@@DanielWretham Pleasure mate very kind of you - yeah good thanks looking forward to getting back out through autumn and putting some stuff on here again after a really busy summer in the gallery
@@StuartMcGlennon really pleased to hear the gallery has been successful for you Stuart ! Fantastic news and well deserved but i know the feeling of wanting to get back out there and autumn in the Lake District is truly special ! Can’t wait to see your videos
Wow, a bit special Dan I liked the ones showing the town, however, all are really inspiring well done mate.
Thanks So much Roly, I was pleased with this one ! Have tried to video Corfe a couple of times before and been unsuccessful sadly so it’s really nice to be able to share such great conditions with you all ! As always thank you for your constant support Roly, it really means the world to me
@@DanielWrethamThe castle has some sentimental memories for me, my late wife and I visited it a few times in the 70's and viewed it from ground the ground level seeing it from your prospective makes me realise what we missed, very special images.
@@rolybaker7770 so pleased it brought back memories for you Roly !
You captured some great images. It's a location that's on my bucket list in misty conditions. Unfortunately living in Cheshire it's not somewhere that I can just nip to when conditions are favourable. That guide is fantastic and I'll definitely refer to it when I do eventually visit
Thank you so much for watching Paul and for reading the guide ! Yes I get the frustration of living far from a location, I went to a dream location of the Lake District for a week, I was so excited and then storm Ophelia happened and I had seven days of high winds and heavy rain ! Super frustrating!
@@DanielWretham we're off to the Lakes in a couple of weeks. Staying for the week so I'm hoping there are still some Autumnal leaves on the tree's. Thankfully The Lakes are about 2 hours away so I can visit fairly regularly
@@tuftyhill good luck when you go ! Sounds like perfect timing ! So lucky to have that location accessible to you !
Epic is the word! Loved the long lens shots, a different perspective is always a winner for me. I patiently wait my turn, brilliant stuff Dan 👌
Thanks so much Rhonda ! It was an amazing experience to be there and see this ! Your turn will come soon I just know it ! Thanks for watching !
Wow rather jealous of those conditions after my fail! Amazing shots. Really like the last ones with the long lense, we’re they from the Kingston to Worth Matravers Road?
Thanks so much Chris ! Was so pleased to have got conditions like that, yes it was from that road just by the lay by ! Thanks so much for watching !
Top notch vlog and shots. You are pulling out all the stops pal. Very enjoyable and informative. Learned a lot about anticiapting fog. Where to you get your low lying fog weather predictions Daniel? F
Thanks so much Ferg ! I tried to do this one a number of times but failed ! There’s a big degree of luck in it to be fair but generally I use met office and be Ventusky for the info then keep an eye on wind speed/dew point/humidity to try and predict if it will happen, plus knowing the areas that are most likely to be Misty. Doesn’t always work out but it’s as close as I get ! Thanks for watching Ferg, hope you’re well ?
@@DanielWretham All good. Thanks for that detail re the weather. Well if at first you fail, try again and again until you succeed. And succeed you did....in style. 👌👌
@@ferguscooper thanks Ferg !
Amazing as usually old friend, you still producing your own music too?
Thanks so much Helen ! Long time no speak, how have you been ? Still doing the odd bit but nowhere near as much as I used too
You sir are a legend for sharing this! Very valuable information on the website, thank you! Can I just ask when you came to do this shoot? I'm hoping for good conditions mid April and will ensure to be there for the Blue Hour. I found this to be the best time for Lulworth Cove too.
Really appreciate it, thank you 🙏 from memory it was August or September roughly but you can get mist there at anytime really ? Just keep an eye out for high humidity, low wind etc…. You can also check Swanage railway webcam which is just below corfe castle so it will give you a good idea of conditions! Good luck and thanks so much for watching
@@DanielWretham I'll keep an eye out, thank you! Fingers crossed it'll be misty but I'll out nonetheless if the weather is nice that day :)
@@DanielWretham Hello Daniel, I've got one more question please regarding the walk up the hill. You mention to take Foothpath 1 to walk up and to walk through the field, past the barn. Have there ever been animals in the field that you are aware of ? I wouldn't want to walk through it in the middle of the night and be surprised by cows or the likes lol
@mlle_francophile yes there are often cows in it, but it’s rare they ever bother you as they see lots of people but if any doubt then take the furthest left route which is always animal free :)
@@DanielWretham thanks for the heads up. After 2 close NF ponies encounters, I like to keep my distance from bigger animals. I will check the other footpath 😅 Happy Easter! ☺
